It seemed right to eat what was
unprocessed and healthy. I believed it to be arrogant to believe man could
improve on what nature had spent a planet's lifetime working out.

During the
next 30 years I managed to lose my way, developed chronic debilitating life
threatening asthma and nearly die. The year was 1996.

Dr. Fink -
His real name - put me on 6 medications. My day was scheduled around these
pills and inhalers. I sat down, read the small print on the boxes and saw that
one inhaler's side-effect was for me to lose my voice. I am a singer.

When I
asked Dr. Fink about this, he said, "Would you rather die?" My answer
was a resounding "Yes" and I sang at him in my biggest full operatic
voice, "Doctor. I must sing!" He paused and said, "We'll find
something else." I left and never went back.

I changed
my thoughts and my life.

In April
2011, we moved to Rogue River, Oregon. Here I have found a home and a
community. I also discovered RAW FOOD.

Thanks
to new friends and two books: 12 Steps to Raw Food by Victoria Boutenko and The
Art of Raw Living Food by Doreen Virtue and Jenny Ross, I have found a
delightful, healthful and colorful lifestyle. I have arrived at my life and am
living well - healthier at age 55 than I have ever been, improved eyesight,
pain free, improved memory, with more energy.
